Passaic Five Win
In a Rough Game
The Passaic High School basketball
team continued its unbroken string of
victories. which new number seventy-
eight. by defeating the Fordham Prep
five at Passsic Saturday by a score of
42 to 20.
The game was the roughest ever
seen on the. home court. Everything
went—slugging. tripping and general
roughing. The visitors brought over a
squad of only six players. and during
the course of the fray five were dis.
qualified for exceeding the number of
personal fouls. E. A. Blood. coach of
the Passaic five. rather than have his
boys play against a shorthanded team.
appealed to the referee to allow the
Fordham players to remain in the
game.
Blood also averted a general fight
during the period between the halves
when the. Fordham rooiers and the-
Passaic boys dropped a friendly riv-
airy for something morc serious.
I’aasaic led throughout the game
despite the repeated interference of
Thompson and had an adwuitaizc of
16 to ' at the end of the first half.
